Transport and distribution of sodium ions in Mercury's magnetosphere: results from multi-fluid MHD simulations

<p>This dataset contains VTK files of the four simulations that are presented in the paper<em>&nbsp;</em><a href="https://essopenarchive.org/doi/full/10.22541/essoar.171629607.76912814/v1">Transport and distribution of sodium ions in Mercury&rsquo;s magnetosphere: results from multi-fluid MHD simulations</a> .</p> <p>The physical parameters for each of the simulations are summarized below:</p> <div> <div>Sim-1: IMF = [0,0,-8.5] nT,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; V_sw = [-400,0,0] km/s</div> <div>Sim-2: IMF = [0,0,-8.5] nT,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;V_sw = [-400,0,0] km/s</div> <div>Sim-3: IMF = [0,0,-8.5] nT,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;V_sw = [-400,0,0] km/s</div> <div>Sim-4: IMF = [-15.2,8.4,-8.5] nT, V_sw = [-400,50,0] km/s</div> <div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>The Hall term is switched off in sim-2, but switched on in the rest of the simulations. The sodium source is used in all the simulations except for sim-3. In all the simulations, the solar wind density is 40 amu/cc with a temperature of 7.5 eV. We refer the readers to the aforementioned paper for more details.</div> </div> </div> <p>These VTK files can be opened with Paraview.</p>
